=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= = F.U.C.K. - Fucked Up College Kids - Born Jan. 24th, 1993 - F.U.C.K. = =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Dress Codes ----------- This is my first time with a F.U.C.K. File, everyone, so bear with me here... Ever since last year, we've had a new dress code at my High School. Unsurprisingly, it's a load of bullshit, dressed up in even more bullshit. Only one really big change was made, but it was enough to single-handedly piss of the entire school, myself included. This change is that everyone has to tuck in their shirts, blouses, etc. It doesn't seem big, but it's a pain in the ass. But, of course, no one seems to want to fight back. Everyone follows because they're afraid. Not just of being given a detention, but afraid of being different. They could be ridiculed for standing out in the crowd. A lot of people say they care, but you know how little they really do whenever some dipshit from the office comes around and tells them to tuck it in. There's a few who'll stand up, but not many. People say it's pretty stupid to caring this much about something that little. Especially for someone who cares as little about fashion and clothing as myself. Sometimes I wonder myself if I'm not just looking for something to bitch about. But then it all gets to me. The rule, the reasoning, and the old shits on the school board who think because they got voted in, it gives them immediate knowledge of how all kids think. That's why I don't comply. That's why I rebel. Not for attention, not just to be different, like so many say, but because of the utter ignorance displayed in this rule. So, for the entire year, I refused. For standing up, I was ridiculed by students and teachers alike, and given detentions, and days of ISS. But I never did conform. Oh, yes, you might want to know what the bullshit reasoning behind the law is. Well, of course, they tell us it's for our own good. With a tucked in shirt, it's apparently harder to hide weaponry, and we look "respectable". Bullshit. Purestrain bullshit. I don't even need to go into detail here on how fucking stupid it is. Of course, for those assholes who ran the school, I had to. And, predictably, every time I would argue away any defense of the dress code, I was faced with a simple reason: "Because the school board says so." Well, fuck, the school board says so. Whoopdee do. I didn't vote those old shits in, so why should I listen to anything they say? Especially when they put it into effect like they did, conveniently "forgetting" to tell us about it until the very first day, instead of on the "Dress Code Sheet" they mail home before the school year starts. Crafty motherfuckers, aren't they? And, this week, a new school year dawned at our wonderfully droll school. And, of course, the administration didn't seem to learn. Despite the supposed piles of office referrals & D-Halls I was told about, the dress code continued at Clear Creek High. Not just that, but now they've made it more restrictive. You can't dye your hair unnatural colors, because they apparently "distract from the learning process". Well, shit. Apparently, COLOR now distracts me. Well, motherfuckers, why don't you get out there and paint the entire school gray, if it's so damn distracting. And cut down those trees and bushes. Such stimuli might create independent, non government-engineered thoughts. Utter chaos could ensue. Also, you can't have any body piercings showing, except earrings. It's not something I'm gonna go do, but I don't give a fuck if someone's wearing them. Why do they care? Oh, yes, of course. That could create non-conformity, and mess up their perfect little school. So, another year goes on. Because of all the chaos resulting from our poorly-planned conversion to Block Scheduling, dress code is not on the top priority. But, they still have people going around at lunches to check that we're all being nice, neat orderly children, with our shirts cheerfully tucked in. And I'm sure that once all the confusion from the change calms down, it'll be back to giving me all the bullshit again.
